Bienvenue


Occasionally it seems that world is in pure chaos with nothing making sense, but that doesn't matter as long as I can sew. Sewing is a form of art, or at the very least creativity, and a form of expression. A great outlet for the tension of everyday life. Also you can make cute things. The craft revolution is truly taking place, old skills are being revived by a new generation, but with a seriously modern twist.

I've made Mario pillow cases, a giraffe print background, and turned duvet covers into summer dresses. I enjoy making something unique, special, and me- then I like wearing it and watching it fall to pieces or not fit properly. Then I enjoy (slightly less) fixing it.

One day I shall have a room filled with glorious fabrics and boxes of notions, and on that day I will have found my nirvana. But until then this blog will exist as my virtual haberdashery and sewing room. Hopefully you'll enjoy looking at my creations as much as I enjoy looking at other blogs, and you'll be inspire to make something of your own.

Back to Nature Look Book



Well Spring has sprung, or is sprunging anyway, leading me to a nature inspired look book.  The background is Snake Charmer by Henri Rousseau- the French impressionist painter of course- which I quite like and seemed apt.  I liked the playing around with the 'tulip skirt' concept, that's the kind of photography magic we all wish we could do.  The rose shoes are just a bit silly though.

Under the Sea Look Book


It's my BIRTHDAY!!!! I am currently in Barcelona having an awesome time (hopefully), I have written this in advance and scheduled the post.  Everyone that knows me knows I dream of becoming a mermaid so it was something of a joy and frustration to put together this on-land sea themed look book.  I think this is the most coherent of my look books, you can put together an outfit as well as adding oceanic décor to your home; an arty Wave cushion or toy octopus anyone?   I personally favour the shell bag, but the Issey Miyake dress is something else, not sure how wearable it would be around town?

Do 25 awesome things today to celebrate the first 25 years of my life :)
